I would like to suggest some games. Since you are looking for a game best android apps, I would like to share with you some game apps that is installed in my mobile phone. One of them is Crusader's Quest, Legion of heroes, Second Earth, (looks like Clash of Clans), Pocketales (RPG and Farming Simulation in one), and Don't Drop that Tiles. All of this games I installed is sooooo cool. But what like most in my installed game is Crusader's Quest. I do really like the rest of the game. It runs through a 8-bit mode graphics... Looks like the game super mario during 90's. I like the game play and the story frame.

HELP!


Got my mom a cheap tablet and she wants to use it as a digital picture frame. The Gallery app changes photos every two seconds. Is there a good slideshow app that lets you choose longer durations like 30 minutes, a couple hours, and so forth?

Even better would be something that automatically shuts off the screen at a certain time each night.

Muzei with a blank launcher screen?
As for the screen, could possibly use tasker to manage screen behavior.

I'm kind of a game freak :D so I can speak about gaming apps only. For me Asphalt and angry birds transformers are the best in 2014. However, I look for upcoming android games in 2015 and I found out that a new NFS called No limits will be released late this year. I think it this game will be dope and probably the best android gaming app of 2015

need an app to take photos every time motion is detected, then save photos in the phones.
i've tried apps such as "Salient Eye" but the apps wont save on phone, it wants to upload to emails/sms/dropbox. cool features, but there is no internet anywhere in grandmom's house.

any idea?

Just wanted to say that this is a useful thread.
Got my first smartphone lately, and by reading the thread I was able to get a ton of ideas of what kind of apps to install.

Same here, just got N6 @ 4 days ago.... awesome thread for me too.

Thanks, everyone.

Recently heard about an app its quite cool named The Light App . It claims to be the world's first NLP powered answering engine. Its quite helpful as it saves much of my time which I spend on the net searching for answers which i dont know. It basically gives usable answers to any of our questions which we want answers to, it acts like your personal expert in your pocket check out the app in action here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC7aIpSdz0o
